The compass capsule is a pressurized, extremely sensitive liquid type. Watch grade mineral glass,encased in stainless steel. The compass component is quality, and they camewith considerable cost.
Some specifications from the Swiss manufacturer:
COMPASS: This is a precision instrument which required several years ofdevelopment. The liquid contents are under constant pressure, I.E. approx. 3bars at 28°C.
The pressuremay reach 8 bars at 78°C under extreme condition, I.E. approx. 90 kg of pressureon each glass (tempered mineral glass HR 900) of the compass. This compassrequired no maintenance for many years. It can endure pressures exceeding 100bars without any difficulty. Precision is +/- 1°. Compass points and northbearing bars are illuminated. It should be used with certainprecautions. For example, it should not be used near devices which create amagnetic field of any magnitude. For optimumreading accuracy, it should be kept well away from any nearby metallic mass,such as guns, helmets, metal tables, etc.
This compass is sealed in a water resistant container.Due to the transparency of the

compass,you can use it directly on the map. The compass is only working in horizontalposition. Specifics of this compass is for North hemisphere.
